World of Warcraft enthusiasts have a new reason to celebrate with the latest six-month subscription rewards, featuring the enchanting Timbered Sky Snake mount and the adorable Timbered Air Snakelet pet. These exclusive items, inspired by the 2025 Zodiac Sign of the Wood Snake, are available to players who purchase or are currently on a six-month subscription. Both the mount and pet will be credited to qualifying Battle.net accounts no later than January 31, 2025, and must be redeemed before the same date in 2026.
Since 2018, World of Warcraft has delighted its community by offering special in-game incentives for longer subscriptions, typically updating these rewards in January and July. These bonuses often align with the lunar Zodiac signs, such as the Auspicious Arborwyrm for 2024, the Year of the Wood Dragon. The Timbered Sky Snake, a majestic flying mount for modern WoW, and the Timbered Air Snakelet, its smaller counterpart for Cataclysm Classic, are the latest additions to this tradition. While these items are part of the subscription package, they are also available for individual purchase in the in-game store for $25 and $10, respectively. Additionally, the Timbered Sky Snakelet, a matching pet for modern WoW, can be acquired from the Battle.net shop for $10, though it is not included in the subscription offer.
January 2025 Six-Month WoW Subscription Offer
- Timbered Sky Snake skyriding mount for World of Warcraft: The War Within
- Timbered Air Snakelet, a small version of the mount, as a pet for Cataclysm Classic
Players who are already subscribed to a recurring six-month plan will also receive these new rewards. By the end of January 2025, both items will be added to qualifying accounts, with a redemption deadline set for January 31, 2026. After this date, the rewards will likely be swapped out for new items themed around the Year of the Fire Horse.
For those considering a longer commitment, a 12-month subscription not only includes the Timbered Sky Snake and Timbered Air Snakelet but also grants access to additional mounts and pets. Subscribers will receive the Startouched Furline, Gigantic Grrloc, and Charming Courier mounts for modern WoW, along with the Lava Drake mount and Swoopy pet for Classic. Furthermore, subscribers automatically receive the July six-month subscription offer, making the 12-month plan particularly appealing for avid collectors.
Looking ahead, World of Warcraft's 2025 roadmap promises exciting developments for both retail and Classic versions. Retail WoW is gearing up for two major patches starting with 11.1, and there's a buzz about the potential introduction of player housing by year's end. On the Classic side, progression servers are advancing to Mists of Pandaria, new anniversary realms will progress from vanilla through to The Burning Crusade, and Season of Discovery is nearing its final phase. With such ambitious plans across all facets of World of Warcraft, securing a bulk subscription now could be a wise move for any dedicated player.
